Title: Easy cancel-jumping
Post by: L4Vo5 on March 24, 2016, 05:37:53 PM
I don't know if this was known (If it wasn't.. Yay!!. If it was, probably not everyone knows, so i hope it helps), but i just discovered a really easy way to cancel jump in certain situations.
Apparently it works at least with fangames that use the yuuutu engine (wich is a whole lot anyways).
It only works when you're going right (or probably left if the fangame "prefers" that direction), what you have to do is:
1.Press shift
2.Start going right
3.Press the other shift
4.Relase the first shift you pressed
5.Success!
You can wait as much as you want between steps, so it's not at all frame-perfect :D.




PS: In the subject of cancel-jumping, anyone here knows exactly how and why they work?

This hasn't worked in any game that I've tried, studio or otherwise. :O Also, a strange thing happens to me when I try this in Jump the rainbow, and I assume would happen in other games that make a distinction between LShift and RShift (If LShift is set to jump you can't jump with RShift): After I attempt your technique, the very next press I make on LShift will not give me a jump.

Maybe your technique is a keyboard specific thing. Keyboards are weird, so it could just be some useful bugginess on yours.

Sorry, i meant yuuutu engine, i don't know what i was thinking D:
I don't think it has anything to do with Rshift and Lshift because for me it works with both (starting with left or starting with right doesn't make a difference).
It could be the keyboard thing tho. I was thinking that maybe it has to do with that weird thing that makes you unable to press too many keys at once. In fangames where i have "jump" set to Z i can't jump, shoot and go right at the same time, but i CAN jump, shoot and go LEFT at the same time (tough i don't know if that has anything to do with the keyboard or if it's a software limitation)

That has to do with the hardware; I had the same thing happen with my old laptop, where if I held down right shift and the left direction button, left shift wouldn't respond, yet it would if I had the right directional key held down instead of the left. This mostly just has to do with the way the keyboard was mapped out; I think I also had a topic discussing this, but I'm too lazy to search for it at the moment.

Oh my god it also works with shooting instead of pressing right!!!!
Now that it works on every direction, my needle life will be much easier than it probably should :D
